FEDERAL INVESTIGATION. WHAT HE WANTS TO SEE HAPPEN LATER AT FIVE. LATE BREAKING AT FOUR. LOCAL POLICE OFFICER CHARGED WITH RACIAL PROFILING IS OFF THE HOOK. WINDERMERE OFFICER JASON DARNELL WAS ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH FIVE FELONYS ON APRIL 12TH ACCUSED OF PROFILING BUT THE STATE ATTORNEY SAYS NO PROSECUTION. GREG FOX IS LIVE AT WINDERMERE HEADQUARTERS. DOES THIS MEAN DARNELL DID NOT COMMIT ANY CRIMES? IT DOESN'T AT ALL. IN FACT, DETECTIVE I TALKED WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF LAW ENFORCEMENT TODAY MADE IT CLEAR JUST BECAUSE DARNELL IS NOT BEING PROSECUTED BY THE STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT HE WAS NOT PROFILING DRIVERS WHILE PATROLLING THE STREETS OF WINDERMERE. TAKE A LOOK, YOU MAY RECALL IT WAS A MONTH AGO THAT WITH GREAT FANFARE POLICE AND FDLE AGENTS ANNOUNCED THE ARREST OF DARNELL SAYING HE DIRECTED AN OFFICER IN TRAINING TO STOP PEOPLE OF COLOR WHO DID NOT LOOK LIKE WINDERMERE RESIDENTS. THREE DRIVERS PROVIDED SWARM STATEMENTS AND THEY STRONGLY BELIEVE THEY WERE STOPPED FOR NO REASON. BUT DURING THE INVESTIGATION IT WAS REVEALED THAT DARNELL WAS NOT EVEN WORKING ON ONE OF THE NIGHTS HE WAS ACCUSED OF MAKING STOPS AND HIS ACCUSER, OFFICER RIVERA, TOLD FDLE THEY DID NOT USE SPEED RADAR DURING ONE STOP WHILE LATER GIVING SWORN TESTIMONY THEY HAD BEEN USING RADAR. THAT LEFT THE CASE [ INAUDIBLE ] DESPITE THIS RECORDED STATEMENT FROM RIVERA TALKING ABOUT DARNELL. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT DARNELL TOLD ME TO STOP A VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS A BRAVO VEHICLE. AND I REMEMBER I ASKED HIM, WHAT A BRAVO VEHICLE WAS. HE SAID BRAVO STANDS FOR BLACKS. STOP IT. ACCORDING TO DARNELL, BRAVOS DON'T GET COURTESIES. KURT SIZ IS WHAT WE CALL A WRITTEN WARNING. I SPOKE TO DAR YEL'S ATTORNEY TODAY WHO SAID, QUOTE, THEY PORTRAYED MY CLIENT AS A RACIST AFTER A SHODDY INVESTIGATION. SHAME ON THEM FOR PUBICALLY HUMILIATING THIS OFFICER WITHOUT DOING A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. OUR INVESTIGATION IN THIS CASE REVEALED THE ACCUSING OFFICER, RIVERA, TO BE A LIAR AND HE SHOULD BE PUNISHED FOR THAT. HERE'S WHAT'S GOING ON AT THIS POINT. ACCORDING TO THE CHIEF, THE WINDERMERE POLICE DEPARTMENT, DARNELL, ANOTHER OFFICER, RYAN MILLER WHO WAS ALSO IMPLICATED IN THIS CASE. AND NOW RIVERA ARE ALL ON WHAT'S CALLED SUSPENSION WITH PAY. PREVIOUSLY MILLER AND DARNELL HAD BEEN ON SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY SO THAT'S REALLY AN UPGRADE FOR THEM. THEY ARE GOING TO BE PAID WHILE AN INTERNAL PROBE IS CONTINUING AND WILL ONE IS BEING STARTED
